Your mortgage lender may well offer to provide your mortgage-related insurance policies. But remember, they are not necessarily insurance specialists and may not offer the best cover or the most competitive premiums. However, when it comes to buildings insurance, it can be wise to accept your lenders' insurance as they will then have a vested interest in your property should the worst happen.

2. Shop Around

It is very easy to look compare the simpler types of insurance, what they cover and how much they cost, on the internet.

3. Visit an Adviser

An independent financial adviser can help you to select and arrange your insurance. They can be invaluable when it comes to more complex types of insurance, such as convertible life insurance, for example.

4. Don't pay for Unsuitable Cover.

There is no point in being over-insured, or paying for cover that is not relevant to you. For example, if you are self-employed, then the unemployment element of Accident, Sickness and Unemployment (ASU) insurance is not needed.

5. Don't Under-insure

If you do not have sufficient cover, you will regret it when something goes wrong. When it comes to contents insurance, for example, there is no point cutting corners : you must go through your house and add up the value of everything, and make sure your insurance would cover it.

What is Life Insurance?

 

With life insurance, if the policyholder were to die whilst the insurance was in force, the insurance company pays out a tax-free lump sum.

Life insurance is usually used to protect a mortgage or simply to provide cash for the family in the event of the policyholders' death. The cover can be in a "level term" format or a "decreasing term" format.

Through us you can get quotations for life insurance policies from all the largest UK life insurance providers. Companies such as Legal and General, The Pru, Scottish Equitable, Scottish Provident, Scottish Widows, Axa, and Norwich Union. They're all famous names and the largest life insurance companies. But they only provide life insurance cover for UK residents.

The general public are not normally aware that each life insurance company tends to specialise in certain parts of the life insurance market. This can make it very difficult to predict which company will provide the cheapest life insurance for any specific client. In addition, the life insurance market is so competitive that the companies sometimes vary their premium rates on a day-to-day basis.

That's why all the Advisers working with our partners, use state of the art technology to select the company that offers you the very best life insurance at the lowest possible price.

When the Adviser contacts you, he/she will initially take a few minutes to clarify the details of the life insurance cover you need. Then, you'll get a very competitive quote. The Adviser can also provide you with quotes with a number of optional extras. You can then see what they cost. For example, indexation, waiver of premium or critical illness cover.

Some of our visitors may not understand the technical terminology associated with life insurance cover. But don't worry - you can discuss the terminology with the Adviser. He/she will be pleased to explain it to you, and in plain English!

Experience has shown us that 50% of visitors change their mind about the exact form of life insurance they need, once they've spoken to an Adviser. This isn't perhaps surprising as, some aspects of life insurance are difficult to understand - and it isn't as if you buy life insurance every day!

Because of these potential pitfalls, we want to ensure that you get expert advice - and without exception. Occasionally our adviser will know of a solution that'll get you even better value for money simply by adjusting a few details on your quotation. But in the end the decision's yours.
